Yeah i know, price u have to pay for living in a rual area i suppose.

Rik · Mar 06, 2010, 18:45:42

You need to get back up to speed, Dorset.

Glenn · Mar 06, 2010, 18:46:00

BT have updated the target date for the 21CN PSTN switchover to Q3 2011 for the Driffield exchange so, sometime after that, I would think.

adamr8965 · Mar 06, 2010, 18:48:30

they did have it as 30 march 2010 for wbc but that has vanished.

I'd rather stay in rual yorkshire than move to a city or large town though.

Rik · Mar 06, 2010, 18:51:54

There's no method in BT's madness, though, so even if you did move, unless you went to an area already live, you might still wait as long.

adamr8965 · Mar 06, 2010, 19:00:56

yeah this true, only winds me up when downloading hd films on the ps3 takes a couple of hours.

Rik · Mar 06, 2010, 19:02:14

Be grateful, I do have WBC and my speeds are half your and I live in a large town.

adamr8965 · Mar 06, 2010, 19:21:40

Technical Ben · Mar 06, 2010, 21:46:27

Oh it's not too bad. I'm on normal ASDL and just downloaded 2.2GB at a steady 800KB/s average, with a 833 peak.

adamr8965 · Mar 07, 2010, 18:25:23

Rik just wishes he could download food, would save on the dr deliveries

Rik · Mar 07, 2010, 18:30:05

And the packaging...

adamr8965 · Mar 07, 2010, 18:30:47

does that take longer with the packaging?

Rik · Mar 07, 2010, 18:31:23

No, but there's a lot of it to dispose of.

adamr8965 · Mar 07, 2010, 18:33:42

oh yes suppose there is. suppose u have ur own bin lorry?

Glenn · Mar 07, 2010, 18:45:17

He's saving them for my visit, they are ideal for keeping fresh food cool, at Le Mans.

adamr8965 · Mar 07, 2010, 18:46:50

He eats that much?

Rik · Mar 07, 2010, 18:53:00

Mine came in useful a few days ago when I defrosted the Freezer.

Steve · Mar 08, 2010, 14:22:53

Ray · Mar 08, 2010, 15:22:05

No, large polystyrene boxes.

We used several this winter for the foodstuffs we store in the garage, Ray. They're also good for keeping drinks cool in summer.
